I have an LCD Steam Deck which I got used for around 300$ since I already have a Ps5 and the Deck was my first time trying pc gaming.

Because of how everyone was praising the OLED, I thought the screen would be bad, but it is awesome to my eyes.

The battery management is the annoying part of an handheld, but you also have it, maybe less, with the OLED.

If the prices were the same, I don’t see why someone wouldn’t get an OLED model, but it ain’t the case and I wasn’t be ready to pay more than 300$, so an used LCD was perfect.
